Leerstelle in transformation

Installation of 'Leerstelle' at Notgalerie

'When a body "encounters" another body, or an idea another idea, it happens that the two relations sometimes combine to form a more powerful whole, and sometimes one decomposes the other, destroying the cohesion of its parts' - Spinoza

 

My piece 'Leerstelle' was installed in the terrace of Notgalerie, Vienna from June 2018 to June 2019. In that time, the weather and the public people have changed the piece. It can be discussed whether  this encounter with other bodies has been destroying or developing the piece. If the influence of other bodies have added something to the piece and created a much stronger and long lasting piece.

What happens when the viewer is influencing or is being influenced by an art piece? Are all the bodies that are involved becoming a part of the art piece in process?
